Why couldn't it take the abuse? If you do your setup correctly and run your lines right you won't have any problems! I've driven 25,000 plus miles on my bagged car with 10 hour trips before and not one single issue. Don't be afraid that bags are delicate, it's easier to get over a speed bump if you need, even tho I prefer to drag over them and people look horribly at me like wtf is he doing? haha

 

I have watched many many peoples set ups blow out bags unexpectedly as they are more susceptible to wear from elements.... I have about 90,000 trouble free miles on my coil overs....ever of that on bags?

 

Yup, I know plenty of people who have driven on bags for 10+ years. I've had bags on every vehicle I've owned and not a single problem. But whatever you want, just letting you know it's not an issue as some few complain about.

 

once again anyone who drives their car hard for many miles have never had bags be reliable without repairs. Also street applications just do not handle nearly as well and add extra weight to the vehicle and also need a ton more maintenance as lines break and valves go bad etc....for reliable every day use there is comparison coils are much better.Saying anything else is misleading to folks who are new to suspension mods,,,,

 

so what is everyones measurements from ground to bottom of lip?

 

I am at about a cigarette pack

 

I can knock over a pack of smokes, hit water bottles and aluminum cans laying in the road , and small critters ( they make some mighty fine stew when tenderized) when I drive my son to school. My lip is scarred up.

I think I need new springs and struts, and shocks , what ya think?

 

my front lip is about 3.5" from ground to the bottom of the lip, i straddled a medium mcdonalds cup last night laying on its side and hit it. i think my rear lip is about 5 or so inches from the ground.

ive just seen some boxes running coilovers thats rear lip was about the same as my front lip, they were running negative camber back there though, dont know if that has anything to do with it.

 

Umm yeah you need new springs LOL
the bottom of mine is scraped bad...and yeah mine is about as off the ground as a pack of Lucky's... my wheel arches are shredded... however I still have all the great handling characteristiccs

 

That is about how low I am BUT that is not how you measure low...

 

I am gonna take some more pics as I am lower now than the ones I showed

 

IMO, air is great, but not on a daily driver unless your knowledgeable enough to keep it maintained and make roadside repairs. For the average owner though, coilovers are far more practical. You get adjustability, great handling, and spend half the dough.

 

yep coils never leave you stranded
